[warn-l] New Year - New Training Season

[Mike Nie]

Happy Holidays from WARN Central.

This message is sent the WARN mailing list (which now numbers about 250),
and a few others.

As we start a brand new year, it is time to start thinking about spotter
training.  The Wilmington, OH NWS office always welcomes new spotters.
They
also prefer that existing spotters attend a training session every year or
two.

With that in mind, I have noticed that the Wilmington NWS has started
posting training information to their web site.  You can get to their site
at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/er/iln.  Follow the links to Spotter Info, then
to the 2002 training schedule.  It's in a very early stage, so much more
will come (if I know them.)  Within the next couple of days, we will have
a
direct link from the WARN web site ( http://www.warn.org ) to the training
information.  We hope to have a WARN representative at all of the training
sessions in our area of coverage.  We hope to see you there!

As I write this, it's about 21 degrees outside.  It doesn't seem like the
time to talk about severe weather yet.  But, keep in mind that severe
weather season is only a few months away.  I think the NWS likes to have
most of their training done before we get into the season.

Stay Warm! (Or if you're like me, enjoy the cold and snow!)
